## Stars

Complete

Mostly organic, confidence medium

Bars show stars gained each week. Red bars overlap a burst.

### Bursts

- **Jun 30, 2020 to Jul 11, 2020**: about 274 more stars than usual, peak 48 in one day, a spike that tapers off. We couldn't check for an outside explanation.
- **Oct 26, 2026 to Oct 27, 2026**: about 25 more stars than usual, peak 13 in one day, a spike that tapers off. No outside explanation found, so this burst is unexplained.

Anyone can buy stars for any repo; bursts alone don't prove the owner did.

- Anyone can buy stars for any repo, so this describes the star history only.
- Star history from the full report of Nov 1, 2026; this update did not re-read it.
